यर्मिया 35

1 यहूदाका राजा योशियाहका छोरा यहोयाकीमको शासनकालमा यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर परमप्रभुको वचन आयो,

The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

2 “रेकाबीका परिवारहरूकहाँ जा र तिनीहरूसित बात गर् । त्यसपछि तिनीहरूलाई मेरो मन्दिरमा लिएर आइज, त्‍यहाँको एउटा कोठामा राख, र तिनहरूलाई दाखमद्य पिउन दे ।”

Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink.

3 त्यसैले मैले यर्मियाका छोरा, हबसिन्याहका नाति याजन्याह र तिनका भाइहरू, तिनका सबै छोरा र रेकाबीहरूका सबै परिवारलाई ल्‍याएँ ।

Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.

4 मैले तिनीहरूलाई परमप्रभुको मन्दिरमा परमेश्‍वरका मानिस यिग्दल्याहका छोरा हानानका छोराहरूको कोठामा लगेँ । यी कोठाहरू अगुवाहरूको कोठाको छेउमा थिए, जुन शल्लूमका छोरा मासेयाह द्वारपालको कोठाको मास्तिर थियो ।

And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan the son of Igdaliah, the man of God, which was by the chamber of the rulers, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.

5 तब मैले रेकाबीहरूका सामु दाखमद्यले भरिएका कचौरा र गिलासहरू राखिदिएँ, र तिनीहरूलाई भनें, “अलिकति दाखमद्य पिओ ।”

And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups, and I said to them, Drink ye wine.

6 तर तिनीहरूले भने, “हामी दाखमद्य पिउनेछैनौं, किनकि रेकाबका छोरा हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई आज्ञा दिए, 'तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका सन्तानले कहिल्यै पनि दाखमद्य नपिउनू ।’

But they said, We will drink no wine. For Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, nor your sons, forever.

7 साथै, कुनै घरहरू नबनाओ, बीउ नरोप वा दाखबारी नलगाओ । यो तिमीहरूका लागि होइन । किनकि आफ्‍नो जीवनभर तिमीहरू पालमा बस्‍नुपर्छ, ताकि तिमीहरू विदेशीहरूको रूपमा बसिरहेका देशमा धेरै दिन बाँच्‍न सक्‍नेछौ ।'

Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any, but all your days ye shall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in the land in which ye sojourn.

8 हामी, हाम्रा पत्‍नीहरू, हाम्रा छोराछोरीहरूले आफ्नो जीवनभरि कहिल्यै दाखमद्य पिउनुहुँदैन भन्‍ने हाम्रा पुर्खा रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले मानेका छौं ।

And we have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters,

9 बस्‍नको लागि हामी कहिल्यै घरहरू बनाउनेछैनौं, र हाम्रो सम्पत्तिको रूपमा दाखबारी, जग्गाजमिन वा बीउ हुनेछैन ।

nor to build houses for us to dwell in. Neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed,

10 हामी पालमा बसेका छौं, र हाम्रा पुर्खा योनादाबले हामीलाई दिएका सबै आज्ञा हामीले पालन गरेका छौं ।

but we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.

11 तर जब बेबिलोनका राजा नबूकदनेसरले यस देशलाई आक्रमण गरे, तब हामीले भन्यौँ, 'आओ, कल्दी र अरामी सेनाबाट उम्कन हामी यरूशलेम जाऔं ।' त्यसैले हामी यरूशलेममा बसिरहेका छौं ।”

But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians. So we dwell at Jerusalem.

12 तब परमप्रभुको वचन यर्मियाकहाँ यसो भनेर आयो,

Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,

13 “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छः जा र यहूदाका मानिसहरू र यरूशलेमका बासिन्दालाई यसो भन्, 'के तिमीहरू सुधारलाई स्वीकार गर्दैनौ र मेरा वचन सुन्दैनौ? यो परमप्रभुको घोषणा हो ।

Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Go, and say to the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? says Jehovah.

14 दाखदमद्य नपिउनू भनेर रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई आज्ञाको रूपमा दिएको वचनलाई आजको दिनसम्म पालन गरिएको छ । तिनीहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खाहरूको आज्ञा मानेका छन् । तर मेरो विषयमा म आफैंले तिमीहरूका लागि निरन्तर घोषणा गरिरहेको छु तर तिमीहरू मेरा कुरा सुन्दैनौ ।

The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed. And to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment. But I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking, and ye have not hearkened to me.

15 मैले तिमीहरूकहाँ मेरा सबै दास, अगमवक्ताहरू पठाएँ । यसो भन्‍न मैले तिनीहरूलाई निरन्‍तर पठाएँ, 'हरेक मानिस आफ्नो दुष्‍ट चालबाट फर्कोस् र त्यसले असल कामहरू गरोस् । कोही पनि अरू देवताहरूको पछि लाग्‍ने र तिनीहरूको पुजा गर्ने काम नगरोस् । बरु, मैले तिमीहरू र तिमीहरूका पुर्खाहरूलाई दिएको देशमा फर्केर आओ ।' तापनि तिमीहरूले मेरो कुरा सुन्‍दैनौ वा ध्यानै दिंदैनौ ।

I have also sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers. But ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened to me.

16 रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबका सन्तानहरूले आफ्‍ना पुर्खाले तिनीहरूलाई दिएका आज्ञा मानेका छन्, तर यी मानिसले मेरो कुरा सुन्‍न इन्कार गर्छन् ।'”

Inasmuch as the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not hearkened to me,

17 त्यसैले परमप्रभु सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वर, इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'हेर, यहूदा र यरूशलेममा बसोबास गर्ने हरेकमाथि मैले तिनीहरूको विरुद्धमा घोषणा गरेका विपत्तीहरू ल्याउँदैछु, किनकि मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलें, तर तिनीहरूले सुनेनन् । मैले तिनीहरूलाई बोलाएँ, तर तिनीहरूले जवाफै दिएनन् ।'”

therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them, because I have spoken to them, but they have not heard, and I have called to them, but they have not answered.

18 यर्मियाले रेकाबीहरूको परिवारलाई भने, “सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु, इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'तिमीहरूले आफ्ना पुर्खा योनादाबका आज्ञाहरू सुनेका छौ र ती सबै पालन गरेका छौ— उसले तिमीहरूलाई आज्ञा गरेका सबै कुरा तिमीहरूले पालन गरेका छौ—

And Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you,

19 त्यसैले सर्वशक्तिमान् परमप्रभु इस्राएलका परमेश्‍वर यसो भन्‍नुहुन्छ, 'रेकाबका छोरा योनादाबको वंशमा मेरो सेवा गर्न सधैं कोही न कोही हुनेछ' ।”

therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.
